Picking & Grinning: UFC Fight Night ‘Bader vs. Nogueira 2’


Antonio Rogerio Nogueira figures to walk off into the sunset sooner rather than later, and Ryan Bader would like nothing more than to speed up the process for the 40-year-old Brazilian.

Nogueira will rematch Bader in the UFC Fight Night 100 headliner on Saturday at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where he seeks to avenge a September 2010 decision loss to the two-time NCAA All-American wrestler. In the bantamweight co-main event, Thomas Almeida locks horns with the unbeaten Albert Morales in a showdown between two of the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s most promising young talents at 135 pounds.
